Are the entry rules for Thailand the same whether I arrive in Phuket or Bangkok?
If I enter Thailand through Phuket are the rules the same as entering through Bangkok .If so are there hotels that do testing as in Bangkok?
Answer summary
Yes, the entry rules for Thailand are the same whether you arrive in Phuket or Bangkok. Both locations have established the Test and Go program, which includes testing upon arrival at the airport and waiting for results at your chosen hotel. Many hotels in Phuket offer similar testing services to those available in Bangkok, ensuring a consistent experience for travelers.

Check with your hotel, testing is normally done at airport it may have changed, but for sandbox you booked through a seperate website.

Phuket is as robust as Bangkok for the test and go program. Plenty of hotels and the test and go system is well established there. Testing is done at the airport then you go to your hotel to await the results before being released.
